Disconnecting trailing coil?
Can anyone describe to me what the trailing coil plug looks like? Ive got serious bucking issues under load and I was thinking it was ignition. I checked the timing on all of the wires and the leading was spot on. T1 is spot on but T2, although the timing light blinks as if its firing, I cant see the timing marks on the pully AT ALL. So I was thinking of unplugging the trailing coil to test and see if the bucking goes away. However I figured just unplugging the spark plug wire was not the best way of going about it. I tried looking for the plug but there is a couple of them under the trailing coil and I cant see a clear indication in the FSM as to which plug it is. Or if there is a way to ground the spark from the trailing coil (sounds like a bad idea to me too) to keep it from jumping everywhere.

Unplug both trail plugs. Done
You've a clamp on the timing light that surrounds the sparkplug wire? Yes
. So on the wire that SEEMS to be firing at random, just reverse the way your clamp is on THAT wire. It will now fire in a regular pattern

Yeah I figured you meant that. As for the spark itself, on the T2 side it does not matter which way I turn or place the clamp, you just cannot see the timing marks on the pully when it fires. It does fire rapidly enough that I know I should be able to see the marks, I just dont. It leads me to believe the T2 coil is just firing at the wrong time.

Fudge. I screwed up. You won't ever see T2 and a mark. I was thinking L2 and sure enough you wrote T2. Sorry 'bout that.
